ya..good question

i was thinking in setup netwerk thingy between pc>ps3

Configuring networking (Step 4)

type the commands below in to shell. 1. echo "Name of your computer here" > /etc/hostname type “nano -w /etc/network/interfaces” and paste all the text between the ---. File /etc/network/interfaces ----------------------------- auto lo iface lo inet loopback

anyway, do u joblo, know anything about fixing "File system read-only errors" and how about fixing it?! do u have this: reboot from petitboot into gameOS wuth a system not shutdown correctly?


edit2:
damn, this is time consuming hehe

@zecoxao : ty for that, need to try that.

i found it weird if only OtherOS+Petitboot in installed, looks like the petitbootloader is et to OtherOS=0
reboot goes straight to XMB and every time with read only errors

atm nothing yet runned(create_hdd_region.sh etc..)
stil getting read-only errors while rebooting and system not correct shutdown..press OK every damn time, i tested changingRebugmode-selector >> REBUG/DEBUG mode

One time, it booted back into XMB without this error, booting back into OtherOS-from petitboot-boot GameOS, again same errors.

i wil test the umount/mount command, but nothing installed on that part?!(ps3dd/partitions etc..)


if u like me to post photo's of the errors, pls help man

thx anyway

on this step 3. passwd, it should have ask you to put a password, which password have you put in? and when login in, it should say something like:

username login:
you put the username right behind to login and the passwd you selected on step 3 afterwards...

if they are indeed the same (ps3) then i don't know what is wrong.

edit: to fix filesystem errors, you have to umount and then remount, i had to do that for quite some times.

Like i said in my previous post my password is ps3 and my username is ps3 as well.

So when is the step that I choose my username? I thought it was the echo step?

But apparently that step I have to put in my PC's name? WTF? Why?

[zecoxao]

check what i've said. when you're logging in, it should say in the terminal

"username" login: (this is where it waits for you to enter the username, marked on quotes behind)

are you sure that when you try to enter as user it says

ps3 login:

???

check for var/petitboot/mnt/ps3dd2/etc/hostname where you have put your hostname (apparently it's there where your username is)

edit: @haz367 , you have to umount the system where you're copying the files making things with root privileges. for instance, if you umount the device where you're installing the script, which in my case is sda1, all you need to do is

umount /dev/sda1
and then take off the device from the respective usb port and put it again

as for dd2, you need to use
umount /dev/ps3dd2

and it'll allow you to mess around with dd2, like remove files as root , or whatever you want .

lol...its frustrated and fun at same time ..lol

thx for explanation @zecoxao

another thing, i reformatted the drive via PC, thinking every "linux" partition is removed
after setup OtherOS+Petitboot, nothing was showing at petitboot(debian)
so i thought that's OK, formatted the full disc fine.

after running create_hdd_region.sh
those DEBIAN entry's from previous ubuntu install are there again?!

no partitions removed afterall?

then used "parted" again, unmount dev/ps3dd1 and formatted mkfs.ext3 /dev/ps3dd1
only for ps3dd it wont work, system files in use, umount not working there

runned "parted" again, but this time it spits out a bug, must be my bad somewhere...

also the Debian auto installer, downloads fine, but running the script failed..can't find "PS3-Debian-Installer/debian-installer.sh" -- etc/fstab error...grrrrrr

atm, HDD back into PC and format with FATformatter

320 GB = 298.02 GB (clean) -- +/- 30GB for PS3 use?! = 268.02GB

looks like the swap partition isn't removed, should one use a partition app like Paragon.Hard.Disk.Manager for example and "remove/delete" the partitions from there making it 1 full drive again

cheers all for the help/tips, its appreciated as usual

[zecoxao]

@haz367 , check the script from nikitis on a text editor, and just copy out the parts which you need to sucessfully format your partitions. i'm swaping back to debian using the same script and i'll report to you guys if i see any problem

edit: @joblo , if you manage to get at the part where it says Installing Core Packages, it'll pretty much be a breeze from there on

[haz367]

pls do and checking script, i figger u mean debian-installer-2.sh..

that's another great trick for us noobs huh ...we wil get there..not sure when..but hey...what else on a boring sunday

cheers!

it says EXACTLY:

ps3 login:

(I type ps3)

Password:

(I type ps3)

Login incorrect

I cant get back into the editor to check the hostname file..

When im installing Debian it lets me in but now that im finished and from petitboot exit to shell to use it again it doesnt let me!

Although I dont feel I need to check it because if I put my username as ps3, and what is dispayed like i said above is 'ps3 login:' then shouldnt that mean my username IS ps3??

Ive reinstalled Debian 3 times today and after the 1st time ive been very careful when setting the password.

This is ****ing stupid that linux wont let me access it!!

[zecoxao]

i don't know where else to advise you except at installing the script...

like i said, after Installing Core Packages, it should be a breeze from there on. And i never had any problems with setting permissions, so i can't help you on this one. perhaps you put ps3 passwd with Caps enabled or something...

edit: just in case you have any problems, on the script always set the username and password to ps3 and BE SURE that caps isn't enabled or something else like that (problems with numpad/numlock)

edit 2: yup, script installed fine, no problems, had to run it on the second time to make it work. it seems that the cpu works better on 3.41 otheros++ than on 3.55, not sure though. anyways, after installing, enter, and type

sudo apt-get install gdm3

to get the Desktop environment and all the minimal things to it.
in case you want to run glevand's latest kernel, go get it:

wget http://gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/linu...-build.tar.bz2
tar -xvf linux-3.3.4-build.tar.bz2
cd linux-3.3.4-build
sudo cp -R * /

and add the following line to kboot.conf as root

Test=/boot/vmlinux root=/dev/ps3dd2

Ok I got Debian working (i think)

So far its not living up to the hype.

**** was not pre-installed (flash player, latest firefox etc.)

I cant use Root terminal, not because my password is wrong, but cause the **** immediately closes after I input my password so I had to download another terminal.

Oh yea and that awesome scrpit didnt contain the mkdir /spu step in it and I get this nice red "failed" when debian is booting, but it still manages to reach the desktop thank god.

I cant install Adobe flash player 10: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

No clear instructions anywhere how to do it.

And just like Red Ribbon, Debian has a problem with:

package architecture (i386) does not match system (powerpc)

When I tried to install a.deb file

EDIT:
Oh yea and the sound doesnt work.
